Meta Description: Vizag’s Beach Road is getting a smart traffic signal upgrade. Here’s what locals need to know about the new system and how it will ease congestion.
Blog Content: In a move to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, Vizag's iconic Beach Road is set to undergo a technological transformation. The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC), in collaboration with traffic police and smart city authorities, has announced the implementation of smart traffic signals along the Beach Road stretch.
These smart signals will be powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and sensor-based systems that analyze real-time traffic movement. Unlike traditional timers, they will adapt to actual road usage, reducing unnecessary delays and making traffic smoother during peak hours.
Key Features of the New Smart Signals:
Sensor-based real-time traffic control
AI-enabled vehicle detection
Pedestrian-friendly timers
Emergency vehicle prioritization
Officials confirmed that the system will be tested between RK Beach and Tenneti Park, a zone known for high vehicle and pedestrian movement. Based on the success, it will be extended to other major roads in Vizag.
Local residents and tourists have welcomed the move, expressing hope that it will significantly reduce travel time and make Beach Road safer.
"This will really help manage traffic during weekends when the beach is crowded. It’s a good step," said Prakash, a local shop owner near RK Beach.
With Vizag emerging as a smart city, such developments show a strong commitment to modernizing urban infrastructure.
Stay tuned for updates on installation dates and how it will affect your daily commute.
